Grown Ups 2 (2013)

Grown Ups 2 Synopsis

The all-star comedy cast from Grown Ups returns (with some exciting new additions) for more summertime laughs. Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school.

Grown Ups 2, naturally, is the sequel to the hit film Grown Ups. Both films really just exist as an excuse to give Adam Sandler and his friends – from Kevin James and Chris Rock to David Spade and Rob Schneider – something to do.

The Razzies might as well be called the Easy Target Awards. Any time a Kardashian wins something, you are just begging for a headline, and not really commenting on the craft – or lack thereof – associated with the art of movie making. T

America's bizarre love affair with unfunny "comedies" reared its ugly head again this weekend as the sequel that no one should have wanted, Grown Ups 2 hit theaters and did better than the first one did.

When people tell you the reason to see Grown Ups 2, it generally boils down to the idea that it's fun to spend time with Adam Sandler and his buddies goofing off. And even if you're not a fan of the actual movie, like I was, it's still true in real life: being in a room with Adam Sandler, David Spade, Kevin James and Salma Hayek is just fun. Especially when the four of them are clearly cooking up pranks together before you ever walk into the room

Yes, Pacific Rim doesn't open until Friday, but according to Variety its outlook is grim. The $185 million monster movie (costing even more when you account for marketing) is looking to make somewhere between $25 and $35 million this weekend, right in line with The Lone Ranger's already famous flop

Instead of being some weird practical joke on society, it was a dish made by the one and only Guy Fieri when Sandler, David Spade, Kevin James and Chris Rock all appeared on Monday night’s episode of Fieri’s Food Network series Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

It’s the middle of the summer, popcorn movies are coming at us with a ferocity one can only handle while absorbed in a massive heat wave (scientifically proven). This week we defend Earth from evil sea monsters and get grown up all over again

This time out, Sandler and his wife (played by Salma Hayek, of course) move the family back to Sandler’s home town, where the clan learns some valuable life lessons from the children on the last day of school. And David Spade likely gets raped by a farm animal, or some such hilarity.

Pair this with the revelation that Henrie and Mann are set to play frat boys, and a clearer picture of this comedy begins to come into focus. In short, prepare to see your favorites comedians of yesteryear embarrassed by Hollywood's next crop of hot leading men. So that should be…not fun exactly…what's the world? Oh, right: horrendous. It should be horrendous.

It's hard to find worse movies nowadays than the ones being produced by Adam Sandler. While his films from the late 90s were great, the actor has gotten excessively lazy in the last few years, pumping out crap like Grown Ups, Just Go With It, Jack and Jill, and many, many others. So what's the only thing that could make an Adam Sandler movie worse? Adding Taylor Lautner.

The young stars of the frantic found footage flick Project X have been launched. Already Thomas Mann has been offered roles in the buzzed about supernatural romance Beautiful Creatures as well as the Will Ferrell-produced coming-of-age comedy King Dork. And now, Mann's Project X co-star Oliver Cooper has entered into negotiations for a major role on the feature of another SNL alum.

Though the original film's writer Fred Wolf is in negotiations to write this screenplay, they say Sandler is only "potentially interested" in returning, which is strange. Though the first movie was sold on the collective appeal of the ensemble cast, Sandler is clearly the leader of the bunch, and the most successful movie star of them all. Theoretically Kevin James, Rob Schneider, David Spade and Chris Rock could return without him

Whether or not you've been hoping for a sequel to the Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups, we may actually get one. While Adam Sandler isn’t exactly known for sequels, a script may be in the works to bring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider back together for more family fun.
